'The hypothesis for this piece of coursework is “Exeter is dealing well with its traffic needs”\r'

'As shown in the maps on the previous page Exeter is a urban center in the south-west of England, with aras resembling Dartmoor which is a national park nearby, Exeter is as well as surrounded by towns and villages identical Topsham, Exmouth, Starcross and Lympstone. At the moment Exeters population is around 111,000 hardly is always growing. Exeter has many a(prenominal) transport links, including ii important address diffuses and a few more(prenominal) local ones, a successful heap service, many roadstead in and surround Exeter and an world-wide airport.\r\nExeters chief(prenominal) train moves are substitution station which is a few fine walk to the city centre and St Davids station which is a 15-20 minutes walk or a few minute bus journey. Exeter has more local train station such as St Thomas train station, but these unlike the two main train stations which have trains which turn all around the country single have trains which give-up the ghost to closer towns or cities. Exeters main bus service which is Stagecoach, has many routes which enables you to travel around and just ancient the outskirts of Exeter, Stagecoach also have a Main bus station in Exeter which also has less frequent buses which travel further to place all around England. The last transport link which Exeter has is Exeters international airport which as well as evaporateing charte release flights also fly scheduled flights around England. Exeters chartered flights dont yet include short haul flights to places in Europe but have late makeed to fly long haul flights to places like New York and Canada.\r\nExeter has many roads surrounding and passing through it including the M5 which is a labor way which starts by Exeter and ends up by Birmingham, on that point is also many A roads neighbouring Exeter including A30 and the A38 which join at the start of the M5 and also the A377 which passes through Exeter and joins to the A30. Lastly there are several B roads including the B3212, B3183, B3123 and the B3183.\r\nAs Exeters population is growing more and more people are impulsive and buying cars this therefore increases Exeters car go forthpower and traffic problems, due to this increase in people and cars Exeters traffic needs are becoming more and more important. In places which have had the issue of congested roads and other traffic problems, traffic focussing strategies have already been tried, like in London; they have now introduced a payment which has to be made for vehicles to be able to drive in the city centre.\r\nThe roads which I leave behind be focusing on are: �Alphington alley\r\n�Cowick Street\r\n�Exebridge\r\n�High Street\r\n�Topsham bridle-path\r\nThe roads and area which I ordain be concentration in this probe on are shown on a map opposite. The area which I impart be mainly working with is in and around the city centre and is shaded in brown on the map, and all the roads except Topsham Road which I am concentrating on are shaded in red\r\nTo investigate this hypothesis I pull up stakes be mainly working in and around the city centre, I will ask questionnaires, take traffic counts and photos, send emails, and also use the internet. I will then put the data into graphs and diagrams and do some calculations which will then name me if my hypothesis is correct or not.\r\n'
